Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not overmix the dough, as this will result in tough scones.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk.
- Let the scones cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the scones to firm up.
- Serve the scones with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or honey.
